WHELAN PRESSXpress Printmaking Etching Presses
Only the Whelan Press etching presses feature a stationary press bed made from solid 12ga stainless steel. A significant innovation in etching press design, usability and safety.
Safety concerns normally associated with moving press beds are eliminated with the Whelan Press stationary bed design. There are no bed stops to maintain and no rolling press bed to keep level. The press bed, plate and roller act in concert providing superior printing results.
Light weight and fully portable. The Xpress line of etching presses can be easily moved through narrow doorways and up or down stairs. Weighing just 296 and 396 pounds the Xpress and Xpress Pro can be placed on any floor surface. The integrated casters allow for easy moving.
A safer patented design for you and your press. Professional etching presses can generate bone crushing pressure, causing extreme harm to the user and severe damage to the press. Our spring loaded print roller helps to reduce the risk of injury and/or press damage.
